On Saturday, Gen Bajwa spoke at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London, where he said that Pakistan was on the cusp of achieving sustainable, irreversible, enduring peace and stability. “Improving security situation will attract foreign investment in Pakistan,” he said.
“International partnership, support and determination also hold importance to cope with regional challenges and foreign investment is the key to regional contacts,” the army chief added. The army chief also visited the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Sunday to watch the Pakistan cricket team play against South Africa in the Cricket World Cup.
